Just going to say this and risk losing all good faith anyone has in my opinions by outing myself as a comic reader, but genuinely fuck anyone trying to wring any kind of high-ground off The Boys, saying it's suddenly doing X, Y, or Z to appeal to a "woke" demographic. I'm no right winger, but I rolled my eyes hard enough to tug my optic nerves when they likened Homelander to fuckin' Trump and MAGA.Ok so I decided to piss myself off by reading the comments section of a superhero show starring a black woman even tho I said I wouldn’t and literally just after like 2 minute here’s all the deranged pissbaby misogyny and racism from useless cockhavers that can’t even FATHOM not being the center of attention
men are such pussies I swear I’ll hate them until my very last breath
The show is so massively inaccurate to the comic it's practically its own entity with a lot of the major changes being for the absolute better.
Just a short list of major changes from the source material that no one batted an eye to.
-Mother's Milk is given WAY more time and character progression plus a full rewrite for more screen time
-The Female/asian chick is aged up and given an actual full character
-A-Train, Black Noir, Stan Edgar, Storm Front, Victoria Neuman, Robin and a bunch of other characters are either race or gender swapped
-Comparisons to Trump and MAGA
-The Deep being changed into a walking caricature of a Hollywood sexpest being #MeToo'd
-Billy Butcher's wife being alive long enough to show he had more character past "Muh revenge!!!!!" And actually loved and cared for Becka enough to form a caretaker relationship with her son despite hating Homelander.
And these are the ones just off the top of my head. Where were all the people freaking out then? What makes these liberal and progressive changes okay, but the other one not okay?
